The maps aren't actually bound to the ladder seasons - we've seen maps removed and added midseason before (Shakuras when it was found to be buggy, for example). They probably just haven't updated the list on SEA yet, there's no reason to think they'd leave a different map list on one server.


I'm thinkking that NA is a test subject. considering the positive reaction, should expect it for all servers.

I don't necessarily understand the decision to bring back Metalopolis.. They took it out because it was one of the original beta maps and it had run its course for the time being. It was gone for ONE season, and now it's back, taking the place of three maps that weren't especially terrible.

Example of a terrible map? Slag pits. Steppes of War. There was nothing wrong with the three they took out... I think Metal needed a longer rest than just one season.



1) Those maps are terrible. There's a reason why Metalopolis was a map still used in tournaments. When have you ever seen the 3 removed maps in tournaments except for Blizzcon Qualifiers and NASL (Backwater Gulch)?

2) Their reason for removing Metalopolis was also because of close spawns, so it seems right that they remove shit maps and replace them with old and better maps. A lot of the BW maps have been used for years because they're just good.


That doesn't change the fact that its dated and boring - You don't evolve the map pool by going back to the old standard, just because it works. You evolve it by constantly tossing in something new and risky every now and then.

The "those maps are terrible" argument is personal opinion and nothing more.


Blizzard actually does something right for once, and you still bash them? I really hope you are joking or that you are misreading something. If not I feel sorry for you. It must be terrible going through life a curmudgeon.

I don't really hate Typhoon Peaks as zerg because it's not impossible. You can win if you outplay your opponent.

2 close spawn maps now


Ive never noticed anything wrong with typhon but people always complain about it. Anybody care to elaborate on why they dont like it.


2 forcefields are enough to cut any army in half everywhere on this map (except in the middle witch is boring...). It's also hard to pressure the third base. Vertical Close position is also hard in ZvT.


The season 4 map pool looks awesome. I hope season 5 will receive some new maps from the Teamliquid Map Contest

What I'd really like to see is like, one Ladder Map spot that is specifically reserved for Community made maps, have it rotate out rather consistently, if the community falls in love with the map they could consider adding it to the standard map pool, if not then you know it gets rotated out with a new one every month or so. This would be a great way to give community made maps some real exposure and appreciation since I really do think there are a lot of very cool maps out there that we will never really get to experience.

Yeah I know, but since SEA was first to get season 4, It's strange that they did a map pool change on NA, and not SEA.., but like another guy said, might have been last second decisions. Probably will get updated. I was just looking at lis on NA first, and then went to SEA, and saw it was different. Thats why I asked.. d

I understand that Typhon Peaks had a third which was easy to take as Zerg, and drop harrass was difficult to stop considering Terrans could drop your main or third in immediate succession, but I'm a little sad to see it go.

Dual sights is a fucking nightmare for Protoss. It's obscenely hard to secure and defend 3 bases PvZ.
